Rosalynd #[nn]

Stephan Franck's Rosalynd opens with a striking watercolor cover — a solitary figure, suitcase in hand, walking railroad tracks through a vast, mist-softened cityscape rendered in cool blues and grays. The mood is quietly atmospheric, somewhere between determination and melancholy, and the painterly style alone signals that this 2019 Dark Planet release has real artistic ambition. If you're drawn to stories with a contemplative, literary sensibility, this one announces itself beautifully before you've even opened the cover.
